Just one photoshoot (YT Version)

Jack was once again sitting at home playing games on his computer. Despite being eighteen and his parents insisting he get a part-time job or start college, he still chose to lounge around being useless.

Then one day a job opportunity arose. “Come on, Jack, just one photoshoot. All you’ll be doing is helping with lights and cameras, maybe with moving stuff.” His sister Emily said, seeming quite desperate. Jack sighed as she continued to beg for his help.

Jack rolls his eyes. “It just sounds so boring. Why does it have to be me?” Jack then slouched down in his chair. Emily shook her head. “Because you’re the only person I know who never does anything, so since I needed help at the last minute, you’re all I have.”

“Sounds like your problem, not mine…” Jack said as he slowly turned his chair away from her. Emily stopped him and spun him back towards her. “Come on, dude. It’s not like I’m asking for free labor; I’ll pay you. One hundred bucks for one day—that’s pretty good, right?”

Jack seemed a bit more interested. A hundred bucks could get him a new game and then some. He even knew the game he wanted. “Fine, that sounds reasonable.” He said as he stood up. Emily let out a sigh of relief. “It’s settled then; go get in my car, and we’ll head to my studio.”

Jack picked up his phone and trudged down the stairs with his sister, saying goodbye to his parents, who seemed overjoyed that he was leaving the house. Jack got in his sister's car, and they drove across town to a building that Emily lives and works out of.

“Alright, this photoshoot is a super big deal for my business; if it goes well, I’ll make the big leagues, so please take this seriously, Jack.” Emily said with a stern look on her face. “Okay, fine. Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it,” he responded, annoyed.

“I’m glad to hear it. To start, I’ll need you to help set up some stages for the shoots. Go ahead to the back and grab the black set of sheets. Oh, and the white ones as well.” Emily said as she pointed to where Jack could find them. He nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

He found his way into the back and started looking for what she wanted, which didn’t take long. Once he had them, he brought them back out to Emily. “Oh, you found them. Good job. Go ahead and set them up while I get all the light stands in position.” She said while lugging the light around.

“You got it, boss.” Jack said sarcastically. He then walked over to the large poles that he was supposed to slip the sheets on. He got it over and got all the wrinkles out of it, and before he turned around, a ton of bright lights turned on.

When Jack turned around, he could barely see Emily standing there smiling. “Great job, and here Mom and Dad said you were useless, but you’re doing a great job.” Jack frowned. “I mean, they’re sort of right, but mostly because of laziness.” Jack admitted.

“Oh? In that case, maybe I should motivate you more like this. Anyway, can you go grab the racks of clothes from the back?” Emily said as she turned the lights off. Jack nodded, and off he went again. He grabbed the first rack, then the second, and finally the third.

He placed them behind the lights and camera that Emily was setting up; that way, they wouldn't be seen. Once he brought out the second to last rack, Emily turned around and smiled. “You sure you haven’t done this before?” She asked.

Jack raised his eyebrow. “Huh? Of course I haven’t. Why do you ask?” Emily just shrugs. “I’m not sure; it just seems like you know what you’re doing.” Jack just shrugged. and went to get the last rack. When he came back, he found Emily in a panic.

“Is everything okay?” He asked. Emily looked up at him and looked extremely upset. “No… not really… My model just canceled at the last minute. Without her… there’s no photoshoot…” Jack seemed a bit surprised by that.

“That’s awful… Is there another model we can use? What about you? You’d make an alright model, right?” Jack said, hoping to help fix the problem. Emily wiped a tear from her face. “There’s no way to get another model in time.”

Emily then looked at the camera. “Plus, I have to be behind the camera and direct the shoots… It’s over… my big chance… it’s ruined…” Emily put her hands over her face. Jack really felt bad; he knew how hard she worked, and she deserved this, but everything seemed to be going wrong.

“Is there really nothing we can do?” Jack asked, not ready to give up on this. Emily removed her hands and looked like she had an idea, but she didn’t say it. “Well? It’s clear you have an idea, so let’s do it already.” Jack said.

Emily nodded and ran to her kitchen. She grabbed something from the cabinet and crushed it up, putting it into a cup of water. She then brought it back to Jack. “Here, drink this; if you do, the photoshoot can still happen.” Emily said, seeming hopeful again.

Jack had no idea how that was going to happen from him drinking this, but if she really thought it would help, he had no reason to refuse. Jack took the cup and chugged it. “Great!! Oh, and as a bonus, I’ll be giving you the money I’d have given the model.” Emily said as she clapped.

Jack was about to ask why she’d do that, but before he could respond, he started to feel lightheaded, and in an instant he was out cold. When Jack came back too, she was sitting at the makeup table next to Emily.

“Emily… What are you doing?” Jack asked in a groggy voice. “Just a bit of touch-ups; why don’t you take a look for yourself?” Emily said as she pulled a makeup brush away from Jack’s face. She then stepped back so Jack could see herself in the mirror.

Jack was now looking at a cute girl with orange hair, styled in twin tails. Below that the girl was wearing a black dress, almost like someone would wear to a funeral, or perhaps some sort of goth girl would wear.

The girl had such a cute face, and from the looks of her chest, there was no denying she was a girl, but that was strange, as Jack was looking into a mirror. Jack realized what was going on and gasped. “Wait, is that me? Did you drug me and force me to cross-dress?”

Emily let out an awkward laugh. “Well, yes, I did drug you, but you're not cross-dressing.” Jack looked at her confused. “What do you mean? I’m wearing a dress and what feels like a bra, as well as girly underwear.”

Emily continued to laugh nervously. “You are, but technically it’s not cross-dressing. The drug I gave you turned you into a girl.” Jack looked at her blankly for a moment and then looked down awkwardly. After staring at her chest, she looked back up at her sister.

“WHAAAT!!!! Why? Where did you even get a drug that could do this?” Emily ran her finger over her cheek. “I’d explain it all, but we really need to get started if I hope to finish in time.” Jack’s face looked even more shocked now.

“Get started? Do you mean you want me to be the model? No way!” Emily looked upset. “Oh come on, it’ll be fun, plus you’ll make a ton of money. Also, if you’re embarrassed, it’ll pass, and no one will ever know you’re the cute girl in these photos, I swear.” Emily said, hoping to change his mind.

Jack puffed her cheeks out and started pouting. “I’d know, and there’s no way I’m doing something so emasculating.” “Please. This is the only option, plus I already used the pill on you, and got you all ready.” Emily said, sounding desperate.

Jack wanted to tell her no and then demand to be turned back, but she did care about her sister and knew this was important to her. She also still wanted to get paid, and seeing that no one would know it was her, it seemed she could put her male pride aside for a bit.

“Fine, but only this one photoshoot, and you never ask for my help again, and oh, don’t tell anyone!”

Emily smiles. “You got it. Now go sit on the sheet, and I’ll start directing you on poses and faces to make.”

Jack nodded and walked over, and over the next hour, Emily took a ton of photos of Jack and had her pose in many different positions with many different outfits. Emily suddenly stopped and smiled at Jack. “Alright, final photo of the final dress. Grab your thigh and lift it, then lean back a bit.”

Jack nodded and then did so. “Is this right?” “Yes, perfect! You did wonderful work. Great job, lil sis.” Emily said with a not-so-subtle chuckle. Jack let out a little smile but then immediately turned red. She shook her head and then looked at Emily. “So we’re done?”

Emily smiled and put her thumb up. “Yup, that’s all I needed. Thank you so much.” Jack stood up and stretched. “So… When will I return to normal?” Jack asked. Emily looked at her and shrugged. Then walked to her kitchen and grabbed the bottle the pill she had used came in.

She looked it over. “It says… it lasts for twenty-four hours.” Jack’s jaw dropped. “WHAT!!! That’s a long time!!! I can’t go home like this!!!” Emily frowned. “Yeah… that would be awkward… I’ll call Mom and Dad and tell them you’re staying over here to help me out.”

Jack sighed. “Yeah, that seems best… but do I actually have to clean up?” Emily nodded. “Oh yeah. At least if you want to eat dinner tonight.” Jack puffed her cheeks out. “Of course I want dinner… I really want pizza from my favorite place.”

Emily chuckled. “Got it, sis. I’ll call them as well, and I’ll be back with it before you know it.” Jack smiled and watched Emily leave before she got to work cleaning up everything. Once she was done, Jack went and stood in front of the mirror again.

“I make a really cute girl… I’m even cuter than the girls I play as in video games.” She pinched her cheeks, ran her fingers through her hair, and even adjusted the bra she was wearing. It was all so strange.

“This is freaky… I didn’t know there was a pill that could do this. Not to mention I’d have thought I’d feel uncomfortable or out of place in this body, but it’s quite the opposite.” Jack smiled at herself. “I actually feel more comfortable like this.”

Jack continued to mess around, and that caused her not to notice Emily arrive home. Emily came inside and saw her new little sister having fun and talking to herself. She then watched amused for several minutes.

She then closed the door loudly and acted like she hadn’t seen anything. “The pizza is here!” Emily said loudly. Jack suddenly jumped and let out a scream. Emily chuckled as Jack caught her breath. “Are you okay, sis?”

Jack took a deep breath. “Yeah… You just startled me… How long have you been here?” Emily pretends to look confused. “Just got here. Why?” Jack lets out an awkward laugh. “No… no reason… You’re just really quiet when opening them and loud when closing them.”

They both laughed, and then they both sat down to eat dinner. “So the photoshoot wasn’t bad, right? Did you have fun?” Emily asked. Jack got embarrassed and looked away. “No, of course I didn’t have fun. You turned me into an adorable girl and took so many photos of me.”

Emily chuckled. “Ah yeah. That can be overwhelming your first time. I guess that’s why you smiled in a few photos.” Jack got silent and looked even more embarrassed. “I did…” Emily nodded. “Yeah, I can’t do anything with them, but I printed them out anyway. Why don’t you keep them?”

Emily said as she slid the prints over to Jack, along with her pay for the day. Jack didn't even pay attention to the money and looked right at the photos. She really did smile at them, but she didn't mean to. She actually had fun wearing these dresses and posing.

She finally looked at the cash and realized everything about this was a win for her. She turned bright red when the thought of doing it again popped into her head, followed by the thought of staying like this. She looked at Emily, who was taking a bite of her pizza.

“Hey.. Em…” Jack said before stopping. Emily looked at her and stopped eating. “Yeah? Something up?” “I, uh…. Would it… would it be okay to do this… You know, again…” Jack stammered as she looked down at her hands. Emily smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, of course. You’re actually a great model.” Jack smiled and almost started cheering but stopped and tried to play it cool. “That’s great… The pay is amazing, so I might be able to buy a new computer if I keep it up… Speaking of, when do you think you’ll need a model again?”

“Hmmm, I don’t know… Perhaps in a few days.” Emily said as she looked at her schedule. Jack suddenly felt a bit sad. “Ah, okay…” Emily heard the change in her tone and looked up to see Jack upset.

“You know, I don’t use those pills. If you want them, for whatever reason, there’s a three-month supply in there. They’re also pretty easy to get, say if someone decided they wanted to take one every day.”

Jack’s face lit up, and she ran to the kitchen to grab them, all while her sister giggled to herself. Emily didn't know why Jack was pretending not to like being a girl, but she'd support her as she discovered herself. After that day, Jack would go on to change her name to Jackie.

She’d also become Emily’s main model and end up making a ton of money, and despite what she tells everyone, she doesn’t spend money on games, as her room would soon fill up with makeup, dresses, and all kinds of other stuff she’s come to enjoy as a girl.

In the end, this change made life better for everyone. Jackie was happy as a girl, Emily had a reliable model who loves working, and even their parents were happy to see them working together and that Jackie had a job. Just one photoshoot changed her life and opened her eyes to an amazing new world.
